He, along with four brothers and their Dad, served in the Armed Forces. Upon turning 18 in 1957, Dan enlisted in the Navy and volunteered for submarine duty. After a year of various schools he reported aboard U.S.S. Barbero SSG-317 for the remaining three years of his enlistment. He left the boat in 1961 in Pearl Harbor as a TM2 (SS).
He has been a municipal bond specialist for the last 41 years and lives with his wife Barbara, of 50 years, in Santa Fe.
Dan coauthored SPINDRIFT along with two brothers. In addition to two short submarine stories - Mess Cook and Diesel Stoker - he wrote POWER SHIFT, a submarine history book.
